The International Sputnik Day 2007

A participatory event

On October 4th, 1957 the Soviet Union launched the worlds' first satellite, named Sputnik - companion of the earth. You are invited to participate in a global party to commemorate the advent of the first truly global radio transmitter and the predecessor of many technological developments which benefit humankind.

Why? – Might be found in the Sputik-Gazette which will be produced in 2007 only, or in the Sputnik-Manifesto.

How? – It's up to your imagination. Invite friends for a festive dinner, produce a radio transmission, create a Website using the newest technologies, organize a public commemorating demonstration – all in honor of the Sputnik – and let me know, so it can be collected on this website.
